33 ¼ shekels (30 shekel = ½ mina) of silver, the remainder of the 1 mina 1 shekel of silver, the purchase price of the house (that) Ištar-šumu-uṣur/Šamaš-nāṣir//Arbāya received (maḫaru) from the Eanna.
Nabû-nādin-šumi/Bānītušu owes (the 33 ¼ shekels of silver) to the treasury (makkūru) of the Lady of Uruk and Nanāya. Until m.1 he will pay it completely (gamāru) and enter the house in (erēbu).
In the presence of: Nabû-šarru-uṣur, the Royal Overseer of Eanna (ša rēš šarri bēl piqitti); Gabbi-ilī-šarru-uṣur, Royal Resident (qīpu) of Eanna
4 witnesses and the scribe Šumāya/Ibni-Ištar//Ašlāku
Note
The Eanna acts as the financier and issued a loan because Nabû-nādin-šumi is a member of its personnel (See Bongenaar, 2001).
